Electrical transport measurements on a suspended ultra-low-disorder graphene nanoribbon (GNR) with nearly atomically smooth edges have been carried out by Zhixian Zhou and co-workers at Wayne State University that reveal a high mobility exceeding 3000 cm2 V−1 s−1 and an intrinsic band gap.

In 2011, Gallaudet University joined the Howard, Hopkins Prince Georges Community College PREM. Three Gallaudet students were mentored by Prof. Paul Sabila in summer research at Howard in Jason Matthews’ research group. In addition to research, the students took part in nanotechnology trai

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced six Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) awards as a result of the 2012 PREM competition. The objective of the PREM program is to broaden participation of underrepresented minorities and enhance diversity in materials research and education.

Clark Atlanta University researchers supported by the NSF PREM project worked on supramolecular self-assembly of biofunctional-modified poly(2 methoxystyrene) on graphene nanoribbons. The bioactive polymer has attracted a considerable interest owing to its versatile properties as a bisosen

Clark Atlanta University and Georgia Tech. researchers supported by the NSF PREM project studied the electronic characteristics of multilayer epitaxial graphene under a perpendicularly applied electric bias.

Students in Bridge Program along with Dr. Ann Watts, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. A Pre-Freshman Bridge Summer Science Program at Morehouse College was designed to develop an advanced level of scientific  literacy among pre-freshmen science majors with the goal of incr
